Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2013

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(b) Financial instruments

(i) Classification

The Trust's investments are categorised as at fair value through profit or loss. They comprise:

Financial instruments held for trading

These include derivative financial instruments such as futures. The Trust does not designate anyderivatives as hedges in a hedging relationship.

Financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition

These include financial assets that are not held for trading purposes and which may be sold.These include investments in exchange traded equity securities.

Financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss at inceptionare those that are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordancewith the Trust’s documented investment strategy. The Trust’s policy is for the Responsible Entityto evaluate the information about these financial assets on a fair value basis together with otherrelated financial information.

Loans and receivables comprise amounts due to the Trust.

(ii) Recognition/derecognition

The Trust recognises financial assets and financial liabilities on the date it becomes party to thecontractual agreement (trade date) and recognises changes in fair value of the financial assets orfinancial liabilities from this date.

Investments are derecognised when the right to receive cashflows from the investments has expired orthe Trust has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

(iii) Measurement

(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets and financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss are measured initially atfair value excluding any transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of thefinancial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs on financial assets and financial liabilities at fairvalue through profit or loss are expensed immediately. Subsequent to initial recognition, all instrumentsheld at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with changes in their fair valuerecognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Fair value in an active market

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities traded in active markets is based on theirquoted market prices at the statement of financial position date without any deduction forestimated future selling costs. Financial assets are priced at current bid prices, while financialliabilities are priced at current asking prices.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(b) Financial instruments (continued)

(iii) Measurement (continued)

(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss (continued)

Fair value in an inactive or unquoted market

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not traded in an active market isdetermined using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length markettransactions, reference to the current fair value of a substantially similar other instrument,discounted cash flow techniques, option pricing models or any other valuation technique thatprovides a reliable estimate of prices obtained in actual market transactions.

Where discounted cash flow techniques are used, estimated future cash flows are based onmanagement’s best estimates and the discount rate used in a market rate at the statement offinancial position date applicable for an instrument with similar terms and conditions.

For other pricing models, inputs are based on market data at the statement of financial positiondate. Fair values for unquoted equity investments are estimated, if possible, using applicablepricing/earnings ratios for similar listed companies adjusted to reflect the specific circumstancesof the issuer.

The fair value of derivatives that are not exchange traded is estimated at the amount that theTrust would receive or pay to terminate the contract at the statement of financial position datetaking into account current market conditions (volatility and appropriate yield curve) and thecurrent creditworthiness of the counterparties.

Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in note 3(e).

(b) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are measured initially at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequentlyamortised using the effective interest method, less impairment losses if any. Such assets are reviewedat each statement of financial position date to determine whether there is objective evidence ofimpairment.

If any such indication of impairment exists, an impairment calculation is undertaken and any impairmentloss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as the difference between the asset’scarrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effectiveinterest rate.

If in a subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss recognised on a financial asset carried atamortised cost decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after thewrite-down, the write-down is reversed through the statement of comprehensive income.

(iv) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement offinancial position if, and only if, there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts at alltimes and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liabilitysimultaneously.

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2013

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Net assets attributable to unitholders

Units are redeemable at the unitholders' option and are therefore classified as financial liabilities. The units canbe put back to the Trust at any time for cash based on the redemption price. The fair value of redeemable unitsis measured at the redemption amount that is payable (based on the redemption unit price) at the statement offinancial position date if unitholders exercised their right to put the units back to the Trust.

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash includes cash on hand and deposits heldat call with financial institutions. Cash equivalents include other short-term, highly liquid investments withoriginal maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition that are readily convertible to knownamounts of cash, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and are held for the purpose ofmeeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. Bank overdrafts, if any, areshown separately on the statement of financial position.

Payments and receipts relating to the purchase and sale of investment securities are classified as cash flowsfrom operating activities, as movements in the fair value of these securities represent the Trust's main incomegenerating activity.

(e) Margin accounts

Margin accounts comprise cash held as collateral for derivative transactions. The cash is held by the broker andis only available to meet margin calls.

(f) Investment income

Interest income is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income for all financial instruments that arenot held at fair value through profit or loss using the effective interest method.

(g) Foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the Trust’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primaryeconomic environment in which it operates (the “functional currency”). This is the Australian dollar, whichreflects the currency of the economy in which the Trust competes for funds and is regulated. TheAustralian dollar is also the Trust’s presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange ratesprevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from thesettlement of such transactions and from the translations at year end exchange rates of monetary assetsand liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensiveincome.

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2013

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(g) Foreign currency translation (continued)

(ii) Transactions and balances (continued)

The Trust does not isolate that portion of gains or losses on securities and derivative financialinstruments that are measured at fair value through profit or loss and which is due to changes in foreignexchange rates from that which is due to changes in the market price of securities. Such fluctuations areincluded with the net losses or gains on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.

(h) Expenses

All expenses, including Responsible Entity/Manager fees, are recognised in the statement of comprehensiveincome on an accruals basis.

(i) Income tax

Under current legislation, the Trust is not subject to income tax provided the income of the Trust is fullydistributed either by way of cash or reinvestment (i.e. unitholders are presently entitled to the income of theTrust).

Financial instruments held at fair value may include unrealised capital gains. Should such a gain be realised,that portion of the gain that is subject to capital gains tax will be distributed so that the Trust is not subject tocapital gains tax.

Realised capital losses are not distributed to unitholders but are retained in the Trust to be offset against anyrealised capital gains. If realised capital gains exceed realised capital losses, the excess is distributed tounitholders.

The benefits of imputation credits and tax paid are passed on to unitholders.

(j) Distributions

In accordance with the Trust Constitution, the Trust distributes its distributable income, and any other amountsdetermined by the Responsible Entity, to unitholders by cash or reinvestment. The distributions are recognisedin the statement of comprehensive income as finance costs attributable to unitholders.

(k) Increase/decrease in net assets attributable to unitholders

Income not distributed is included in net assets attributable to unitholders. Movements in net assets attributableto unitholders are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as finance costs.

(l) Due to brokers

Amounts due to brokers represent payables for securities purchased that have been contracted for but not yetdelivered by the end of the year.

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2013

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(m) Receivables

Receivables may include amounts for interest and dividends. Interest is accrued at the reporting date from thetime of last payment in accordance with the policy set out in note 2(f) above. Dividends are accrued when theright to receive payment is established. Amounts are generally received within 30 days of being recorded asreceivables.

Receivables may include such items as Reduced Input Tax Credits (RITC).

(n) Payables

Payables includes liabilities and accrued expenses owing by the Trust which are unpaid as at year end.

The redemption amount payable to unitholders as at year end is recognised separately in the statement offinancial position.

The distribution amount payable to unitholders as at year end is recognised separately in the statement offinancial position as unitholders are presently entitled to the distributable income under the Trust Constitution.

(o) Applications and redemptions

Applications received for units in the Trust are recorded net of any entry fees payable prior to the issue of unitsin the Trust. Redemptions from the Trust are recorded gross of any exit fees payable after the cancellation ofunits redeemed.

(p) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

The GST incurred on the costs of various services provided to the Trust by third parties such as ResponsibleEntity/ Manager fees, have been passed onto the Trust. The Trust qualifies for RITC hence Responsible Entity/Manager fees and other expenses have been recognised in the statement of comprehensive income net of theamount of GST recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Accounts payable are inclusive of GST.The net amount of GST recoverable from the ATO is included in receivables in the statement of financialposition. Cash flows relating to GST are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis.

(q) Use of estimates

The Trust makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within thenext financial year. Estimates are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors,including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

For the majority of the Trust’s financial instruments, quoted market prices are readily available. However,certain financial instruments, for example, over-the-counter derivatives are fair valued using valuationtechniques. Where valuation techniques (for example, pricing models) are used to determine fair values, theyare validated and periodically reviewed by experienced personnel of the Responsible Entity, independent of thearea that created them. Models are calibrated by back-testing to actual transactions to ensure that outputs arereliable.

Models use observable data to the extent practicable. However, inputs such as credit risk (both own andcounterparty), volatilities and correlations require management to make estimates. Changes in assumptionsabout these inputs could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

For certain other financial instruments, including amounts due to brokers and accounts payable, the carryingamounts approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2013

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(r) New accounting standards and interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30June 2013 reporting periods. The Responsible Entity’s assessment of the impact of these new standards (to theextent relevant to the Trust) and interpretations is set out below:

(i) AASB 9 Financial Instruments and related amendment AASB 2009-11

AASB 9 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 and will therefore apply to theTrust from 1 July 2015. The Trust does not intend to early adopt AASB 9 as permitted by the standard, and theactual impact on initial application will depend on certain elections as disclosed below.

AASB 9 requires all financial instruments to be measured at fair value unless the criteria for amortised cost aremet. The application of the standard is not expected to change the measurement basis of any of the Trust'scurrent financial instruments, however, AASB 9 allows the Trust to elect to present gains and losses on equitysecurities through other comprehensive income, which may impact the presentation of these gains and losses.The impact of the standard may also change if the nature of the Trust's activities or investments changes priorto initial application.

(ii) AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and related standards AASB 11, AASB 12

AASB 10 establishes a new control model that applies to all entities. It replaces parts of AASB 127Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements dealing with the accounting for consolidated financialstatements and UIG - 112 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. AASB 10 applies to annual reportingperiods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and will therefore apply to the Trust from 1 July 2013. The Trustdoes not intend to early adopt AASB 10 as permitted by the standard. Management does not expect theadoption of AASB 10 to lead to any change to the presentation of consolidated financial statements based onthe Trust's current investment strategy.

(iii) AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement

AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for determining the fair value of assets andliabilities. AASB 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidanceon how to determine fair value when fair value is required or permitted. Application of this definition may resultin different fair values being determined for the relevant assets.

AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includesinformation about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair valuedetermined. AASB 13 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and willtherefore apply to the Trust from 1 July 2013. The Trust does not intend to early adopt AASB 13 as permitted bythe standard. Management does not expect this will have a significant effect on the Trust's financial statements.

Standards and interpretations that are not expected to have material impact on the Trust have not beenincluded.

(s) Rounding of amounts

Pursuant to Class Order 98/0100 issued by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission, relating to the"rounding off" of amounts in the directors' report and financial report, amounts in the directors' report andfinancial report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars in accordance with that Class Order,unless otherwise indicated.

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2013

3 Financial risk management

(a) Strategy in using financial instruments

The Trust’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk, foreign exchangerisk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Trust’s overall risk management programme focuses on ensuring compliance with the Trust’s investmentguidelines and seeks to maximise the returns derived for the level of risk to which the Trust is exposed. TheTrust uses derivatives and other instruments for trading purposes and in connection with its risk managementactivities.

The Trust may use derivative financial instruments to gain market exposure for any cash in the portfolio.

Derivatives are not used to gear (leverage) the portfolio. Gearing a portfolio would occur if the level of exposureto the markets exceed the underlying value of the Trust.

Financial risk management is monitored by the Responsible Entity's risk management department under theterms of the investment management agreement between the Responsible Entity and the Investment Manager.

(b) Market risk

(i) Price risk

The Trust trades in financial instruments by taking positions in exchange traded instruments, includingderivatives.

All securities investments present a risk of loss of capital. The Investment Manager manages this risk through acareful selection of securities and other financial instruments within specified limits. The Trust's overall marketpositions are monitored on a daily basis by the Investment Manager.

Price risk is managed by:

seeking to ensure the Trust is fully invested by managing the cash levels within the Trust

seeking to ensure that the Trust is investing in accordance with its stated objectives.

The Trust's equity securities and derivatives are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties aboutfuture prices of the instruments.

At 30 June 2013, the Trust's market risk is affected by changes in market prices. If the exposure to financialassets and financial liabilities at 30 June 2013 had increased by 10% with all other variables held constant, thiswould have increased net assets attributable to unitholders by approximately $2,831,534 (2012: 10%;$2,519,645). Conversely, if the exposure to financial assets and financial liabilities at 30 June 2013 haddecreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, this would have decreased net assets attributable tounitholders by approximately $2,831,534 (2012: 10%; $2,519,645).

(ii) Foreign exchange risk

The Trust holds both monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other thanthe Australian dollar. The foreign exchange risk relating to non-monetary assets and liabilities is a component ofprice risk. Foreign exchange risk arises as the value of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in othercurrencies will fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates.

The table below summarises the Trust’s monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated inAustralian dollar and other currencies.

Foreign exchange risk on monetary assets and monetary liabilities is measured using sensitivity analysis as setout below.

The following table summarises the sensitivity of the Trust to foreign exchange risk as at 30 June 2013 and 30June 2012. The sensitivity of profit/(loss) for the year and the impact on net assets attributable to unitholders isthe effect of a reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates on monetary assets and liabilities held atyear end. If exchange rates increased or decreased by 10%, with all other variables remaining constant, theapproximate movement in net assets attributable to unitholders would amount to the following.

In practice, the actual results may differ from the below sensitivity analysis and the difference could besignificant.

(iii) Interest rate risk

The Trust is subject to risk due to fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates. Any excess cashand cash equivalents are invested at short-term market interest rates.

The Compliance Committee of the Responsible Entity reviews any identified exceptions to internal risk policiesand procedures on a quarterly basis.

The table below demonstrates the sensitivity of the Trust's profit/(loss) for the year to a reasonably possiblechange in interest rates, with all other variables held constant. The sensitivity of the profit/(loss) for the year isthe effect of the assumed changes in interest rates on net interest income for the year based on the floatingrate deposits at call held at year end.

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and other financial institutions andcounterparties to derivatives. None of these assets are impaired nor past due but not impaired.

The Trust manages credit risk by managing its exposures to issuers, deposit taking institutions, brokers andother counterparties.

The exposure to credit risk for cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and other financial institutionsand counterparties to derivatives is low as all counterparties have a rating of at least A- (2012: A-) asdetermined by Standard and Poor's rating agency.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalentsand other financial assets.

In accordance with the Trust’s policy, the Responsible Entity's risk management department monitors theTrust’s credit exposure on a daily basis. The Compliance Committee of the Responsible Entity reviews anyidentified exceptions to internal risk policies and procedures on a quarterly basis.

3 Financial risk management (continued)

(d) Liquidity risk

The Trust is exposed to daily cash redemptions of redeemable units. It therefore invests the majority of itsassets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of.

The investments of the Trust may become illiquid. As a result, the Trust may not be able to liquidate quickly itsinvestments in these instruments at an amount close to their fair value, or at all, to meet its liquidityrequirements. No such investments were held at the statement of financial position date.

The Compliance Committee of the Responsible Entity reviews any identified exceptions to internal risk policiesand procedures on a quarterly basis.

Redeemable units are redeemed at the request of unitholders subject to the Trust's offer document and TrustConstitution (as applicable). All other liabilities are payable within 30 days except for futures which are due in 60days.

(e) Fair value estimation

The carrying amounts of all the Trust's financial assets and financial liabilities at the end of each reportingperiod approximated their fair values as all financial assets and financial liabilities not fair valued are short-termin nature.

The Trust classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the subjectivity of theinputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).

Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either

directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).

Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable

inputs) (level 3).

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety isdetermined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If afair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservableinputs, that measurement is a level 3 measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fairvalue measurement in its entirety requires judgement, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.

The determination of what constitutes 'observable' requires significant judgement by the Trust. The Trustconsiders observable data to be market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliableand verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevantmarket.

The fair value of listed equity securities as well as publicly traded derivatives are based on quoted market pricesor binding dealer price quotations at the reporting date (bid price for long positions and ask price for shortpositions) and have therefore been classified as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
